Fatal Fire at NYC E-Bike Repair Shop Leaves Multiple Dead and Injured

At least four people have died and five others have been injured, two of them critically, after a fire broke out in an e-bike repair shop in lower Manhattan. The cause of the blaze is under investigation, but piles of e-bikes and scooters were pulled from the shop. Lithium-ion batteries that power e-bikes and e-scooters catch fire "with some regularity — and the numbers are rising," according to the National Fire Protection Association.
